Bye-bye C-list
« on: May 13, 2019, 07:54:10 pm »


Where have all the Fieros gone now that Craigslist is charging $5 to post a vehicle for sale?

Craigslist used to be so great.  Now, not so much.

People actually buy stuff off facebook?!  I avoid that virus-plagued, insecure, invasive place like the plague.

CraigsList has become a criminal's hangout.  Scams, Robberies, Assaults, Murders. Burglaries.  Years ago there was a section for casual s3x encounters with very graphic photos. 

I've heard that the facebook automobile forums are difficult to find things like a technical article, or something that you really want to follow.  I know that when I check Melanie's facebook account, all I need to do is refresh the page and what was there is now gone.  I like forums that are dedicated to a subject.

I have seen things on the facebook market place and notifications of someone posting something often come up in Melanie's notifications, but I just mark them as read.  Not interested in getting heavily involved with facebook.
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I went on craigslist, and now get stuff showing undesirable stuff on PFF.  Very annoying.

Facebook sends me all sorts of spam.  The subject line poses queries such as, "do you know john smith and 13 others?"  It is very annoying.  People add your info to facebook without your permission, tag you in photos without your permission, etc.  Very invasive.  If it weren't illegal and unethical, I would block facebook on several core routers, which would kill facebook.  It created plenty of uproar when I blocked facebook on several mail servers and firewalls. Technically, I blocked social media, but in less than 5 minutes had an office full of people complaining about facebook.

Lately, twitter is also sending me spam.
